In 2021, the legislature passed the Climate Commitment Act, which directed Ecology to establish a “Cap-and-Invest” program to help achieve Washington’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions limits. The Climate Commitment Act (RCW 70A.65.300) requires Ecology to establish reporting requirements for recipients of funding from the Climate Commitment Act accounts so that Ecology can prepare an annual report for the legislature.
The rule proposes to establish reporting requirements for recipients of funding from Climate Commitment Act accounts. These reporting requirements will include those related to expenditures that benefit vulnerable populations within the boundaries of overburdened communities and those that are formally supported by a resolution of a Tribe. The rule will define what information funding recipients must report to Ecology. Additionally, the rule includes requirements for recipients to report on the quantity of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions expected to result from work funded by the CCA.
